Griffin Images of Comet Hale-Bopp

1. 31 separate 40 second images of Hale Bopp have been flat fielded and
combined to create this image. The image was obtained using a 12 inch
Maksutov with 1524mm focal length and no filter. Image is 31.1 by 20.7 arc
minutes. This is an integrated white light image. First image started at
05:40 EST with the last image started at 06:10. Stars look trailed in this
composite image, since it was effectively guided on the comet's motion

2. The original composite image has been logarithmically scaled and
false-colorized to reveal structure using Mira. Note the linear features.
